It was directed to - the Commissary Arnores. - " Mosr EXCELLENT SIR; • "At seven in the evening yesterday c a me here Don Ignario Alonzo, commonly called Cuibillas, Dit'eaor of the Company of Scouts, of D. Juan Diaz Poslier,. and also one D: Constantino, a friar of the monastery of Bernados. de Honora, which has been surprised, attended by another party under his dr ders. Both of these composed at leaSt 200 armed cavalry, who with their Commanders, proceeded to the Convent of St. Augustine, after having posted centinels at the opening of the streets, and the passes of the district. Without delay they demanded the surrender of a.l the French troops in that can vent, and in a short time the roof was set on, fire.— During the whole night succeeding that day and this day, the anion has continued with great spirit, but the destruction of the artificial fire and the great number of Spanish forces has inclined the French Of ficer to capitulate, to,surrender the arms, and to de , liver up the 43 me❑ whom he commanded. The result is, that a quarter of art hour ago the French, having surrendered, proceeded as prisoners in the direction of Naxera and Lagronno: The, French Commander conduated himself with the greatest va lour, for which he is loaded with compliments by the Spanish Chiefs, and is treated with the resped • he deserves." (OFFICIA L) SEVILLE, SEPT. 4.—Brigadier-General Marquis of Atalayuelas, Military Commandant of the no vince of Cuenca, and part of Castile,. has sent to the Minister of War the following dispatch: It is but justice to this Officer to observe, that, from the instant he received this commission, he has shewn the greatest zeal in ,fulfilling its duties, undergoing fatigue with patience, to molest the enemy, and ex erting hiMself to give to the Government correct oc;- couw s of their movements and designs. " EXCELLENT SIR, . " I have the, satisfataion to inform your:Excel lency, that, agreeably to what I announced to you on the 18th of this month, informaiion was git en me by a spy of the coasts at Fuentiduenna and Vil lamanque, which were guarded by Go or 70 French atorie place, and about 40 at the other. On re ceiving this account, without` a moment's delay, I ordered the troops to pass the Lords, to prevent the enemy"s knowing and frustrating our purpose.— ditetted rnY party to form themselves into three divisions, two of them attacked both points at a time, while the other remained inactive, but ready to reinforce either that might be repulsed, and to hinder the retreat of the enemy across the river.— Thus-prepared, the attack was Made, and I now receive the particulars from D. Leandro - Antonia Carcia, dated Beliuchoti, wherein he informs rue, _that he had defeated the party at Fuentiduenna, and made the whole prisoners, with one Officer. We had only two horses wounded, although the enemy had nine men killed, and three wounded;` and the buiiness was executed without the assistance of the troop of D. Joseph Philipe Mangudo., " In the same hour, and trout the same place:l have another communication from D. Alt Octa vio, who attacked /30 men at Villa •Maurique, and made 6 t prisoners._ _ . . Altogether, the killed, wounded; and prison ers, are three Officers, one cadet, and more than 100 men ; and 1 have now fulfilled the design I formed, at the time of .my retreat from Tarraneon. " This diipatch you will be so good as to submit to his Majesty, and also to inform him, that it is my intention to forward the prisoners to you!' Court. God preserve you, &c.

SEVILLE GAZETTE, SEPT. 7.—Dispatch of file Junta of Placencia, dated the 16th August, from a Parish of that Distri& " MOST EXCELLENT SIR, " On the tith instant I communicated to your Excellency such occurrences as were known respect ing the operations of the enemy. Since then, we only are informed that' the greater part of his army remains in Placencia, and that, from thence, numer ous parties are detached to plunder, and lay waste the neighbourhood. From hence we have seen, for three dayi, a conflagration at Serradilla, where they have burnt some barns, produce, and fences, with about 80 houses, among which is a convent of nuns. They killed a great number of persons, and even the animals which' fell in their way, leaving the country in a state of utter ruin. It is also reported that the following places are burnt with some others ; Pa sabon, Arroyo, Molenos El Barrado, Garganla La 011 a, Taxada, ItiolobosAialpartida, and La Oliva. They register with great care the little encampments in the defiles and on the mountains, and not cornett with pillaging every where, they, in their fierce 'bru tality, fire upon unoffending persons, and kill every one that falls into their hands. Like common high waymen, they strip even travellers of their property. Near Serradcllo they tied down and robbed eleven mule-drivers, whom they atterwards assassinated.— Such are the exhibitions of valour, and such the hor rible effels of the destrtv:tive policy. of the cruel hero. It seems that the director of these massacres is his Ithperial Marshal the Duke of Dalmatia, M whose name we yesterday saw an order which was sent to the city of Coria by the Commissary La Noble, in order that on the 14th, 16th, ,and 18th instant, he should send to Placencia, to the militaiy magazines, a quantity of provisions and other sup plies, which were particularly detailed, and among which was an arrobe of bark. This.requisition was made not without the pleasant accompaniment of the usual threats in case of disobedience. We find also, yesterday, that the enemy had come to examine with great attention the Cardinal's bridge, which had been broken, and sought for timber in the royal - town of St. Carlos for the purpose of repairing it. The Junta gave immediate information of these circumstances to the Generals 'of our army, and di retied that scouts should be employed from the town of Torrojen to watch the movements of the enemy." Lord ELDON arrived at Windsor yesterday, and had au audience of his (1.8.) ESWX. POLICE. _ . Bow.sTa 7.ET.----On Saturday the Hon. Abgdst us li4rry nod Mr. Cart-r, were brought to the Office; 11 , • custody ot . :Anuio:)y, and other officers,, before Air. GnAIIAM, upon cross-peace warrants. The Maghtrate heard Mr.•Birry's charge first:.--• He stated, that on "I hursday evening f l e met Mt•. Carter, who held up his fist in a menacing wanner, and threatened to strike him ; but he admitted, 'can didly, that he first accosted Mr. Carter, and called him . : opptob►ious names. Mr. GRAHAM discharged the warrant, and Own beard Mr. Carter's charge against Mr. Barry Carter stated, that a short time since he had a differ ence with him ; the consequence was ; a certain French Nobleman caled upon him with a letter from Mr. Barry, but having made up his mind to have nothing more to do with Mr. Barry, he did not open the letter; he therefore did not know the con - tents, but suspeCted it contained a challenge ; ,few days after that, Mr. Cattner, who was walking with Mr. Barry when he met him on Thursday, called upon him,- and delivered him a message from Mr. Barry, which amounted to a challenge, which he gave a sin►ilar.answer to as the letter, being determined not . to have any thing more to do with him ; c:n Thursday evening, when' he met Mr. Barry, in corn pany with Mr. Catmer, in the neighbourhood of Portland-place, he addressed _ him by asking, if his name was not Carter ? Mr. C. replied, he knew it was very well; Mr. Barry called him a rascal, and made use of other opprobrious names towards him. Mr. Carter observed, that if he had not been dis abled by a late tall from his horse (his arm being then' tied up) he would thrash him ; upon which Mr. Barry took a stick from his friend Mr. Catmer, and held it up at Mr. Carter, but no blows were given by-either . party ; Mr. Barry, however, went and knocked at the door of Mr. Jackson, who re sided on the spot, and made use of some very abu sive language against Mr. Carter. Mr. GRAHAM took a view of all the circumstances, and said he considered Mr. Barry the aggressor, in ❑ot only sending the challenge, but in pursuing Mt. Carter with violence; he should, therefore; hold Mr. Barry to bail, himself in 5001. and two sureties 2501. each. GUILDHALL, SEPT. 30.—Gar readers will recol lea, that we some time ago stated the particulars of an examination of a young woman; named 'Harriet Jagt;, who had been brought before the Sitting Ma gistrate, charged with various ads of imposture, principally on the feelings of the public, by attempts to swallow poison, &c. This person it w ill als o be recollected, represented herself as connected with some of the first families in the kiugdonn, stating among other things that she was a natural daughter of Sir W. Max well, brother to the Duchess of Gor don, and that she was intimately connected with the Marquis of Huntley. On tier last examination the29fh August last, a certificate was produced signed by the medical gentlemen employed by the city of London, stating t hat they had visited he prisoner, and that it was their •opinion that shei laboured under mental de rangement, induced, probably, by an injury which she had some time befOre sustained in the head.— In consequence of this certificate, the prison&r was ordered to be sent to a house for insane persons, kept by a Mr. Miles, at Hoxton, and it was . re terred to the medical men who signed the certifi cae, to visit her, to examine into her situation, and to report their opinion to the sitting Alderman, at the distanceof a month. In consequence, the follow ing report has been made by these gentlemen to Mr. Alderman Scholey, the sitting Magistrate for the week, who had also bestowed great attention on the business in the course of the investigation whiCh had previously taken place. " TO GEO. SCHOLEY, ESQ. ALDERMAN.

Having considered this report, the Worthy Alder man has ordered a further and final report to be blade on the subject, on Tuesday the Loth day of ,Oanber next. _ Two men named Stratton and Turtle, servants to Mr. Bayne, warehouseman, in Queenhithe, were brought up for re-examination before Mr. Alderman SCHOLEY;•charfed with robbing their master. " Of the guilt of the Prisoners there could belittle doubt, a quantity of cotton wool having been found on one of them, and a quantity of bark on the other, at the time they were apprehended. They had been re manded, however, at the request of their - master, to afford them an opportunity of pointing out the,re- . ceivers, in which event the worthy Alderman seem ed inclined to 'listen to an applic ition made by the Prisoners to be allowed to volunteer in the marine ser%ice. Both Prisoners still continuing refractory, they were fullY committed for trial , . • Mary Hudson, a well-knoWn charaEter, and who in the early part of the week escaped from a charge of felony on account of the non-attendance of the .Prosecutor, was fully committed for trial, charged with picking the' pocket of E.

On the arrival of the grand galleys, barges, and gondolas, at the new landing place made at P:dace-yard, West minster, the City party landed, and walked in pro . . . . , 'cession, with flags : flying, to the Court of Exche quer, where they were received by the Cursitur Baron. The RECORDER then : presented the new Sheritfi, Messrs. WOOD and ATKINS, with the usual form and after the Baron bad .lead the duties of their office, they severally took the oaths, and per formed the ancient Leremony of cleaving t he and of counting the number of nails in four horse• shoes ; a practice which has descended to us from times when it e.•as thought•necessary that every new Sheriff should prove himself rascholar by pertorm ing' the important task of enumerating certain hob nails. But this was not the 'only qualification re quired ; he was expected to strew strength of body, as well as min +, which he did, by cleaving a large , billet of wood. At the present day this ordeal is rt duced to mere form. A• few sticks are. held, while the Sheriffcuts a notch with a bill. The calculation of the nails is made, and thus the antient custom is maintained. Havini fulfilled this important dory, •• the Corporation returned to their barges, attendki by music and flags, and rowed off amidst a salute of cannon fired from the opposite banks of the Ricer. After re landing at Biackfriars, they formed a caval cade in carriages, and the ceremony ended, as City business generally does, with a good dinner.'
